Julia Hall Liegeois design picks Anna Karlin Form Light Bronze
Form Light by Anna Karlin
New York designer Anna Karlin transforms humble materials into functional sculpture. In her statuesque fixture, Form Light, cast bronze, hand-blown glass, marble and brass are suspended like jewelry on an acrylic rail for a floor-to-ceiling composition, custom-made to suit your room’s height. A muted palette allows the contemporary creation to suit modern or traditional tastes. “It’s subtle enough that it can translate to any space,” Julia says. annakarlin.com

Julia Hall Liegeois design picks clorophilla by fratelli boffi
Clorophilla by Fratelli Boffi
Sturdy walnut fortifies this ethereal chair, where folk art meets Milanese sophistication. The backrest’sbundle of hand-hewn leaves harmonizes with twisted, root-like legs, creating a cohesive, biophilic theme. Julia values Fratelli Boffi’s thoughtful approach to furniture design, grounded in the Northern Italian company’s century-long history and experimental spirit. The designer gravitates toward pieces with provenance—storied objects that enrich a home with texture and meaning. “Our homes should be a story of us,” she says. fratelliboffi.it

Julia Hall Liegeois design picks piccone rug elchholtz white
Piccione Rug by Eichholtz
Conscious consumption anchors Julia’s approach, exemplified by the made-to-last Piccione Rug. Julia prefers the carpet’s hand-tufted New Zealand wool to silk for its superior durability, which ensures longevity in high-traffic areas. “It lasts forever, and it’s washable,” she says. This elegantly understated rug balances bold dimension with subtle tonality. The modernist motif, which takes its name from the Italian word piccione, a reference to the white dove of peace, holds universal symbolism. Julia recommends layering the piece atop a jute rug for coastal modern spaces—the natural textures enhance the rug’s refined simplicity. eichholtzlosangeles.com

Julia Hall Liegeois design picks pall console by form la
Palla Console Table by FORM (LA)
“I love to incorporate natural materials, because they never go out of style,” Julia says, admiring the Palla Console Table by FORM (LA). Australian architect Jordan Mosslar established his temple to stone in 2021 to simplify the notoriously fragmented quarry sourcing process and offer fellow designers an end-to-end resource for commissioning natural stone pieces. In his own designs, modernist precision meets earthen beauty—the Palla’s rhythmic surface seems to teeter over stacked spheres in mathematical harmony, with the curve of each orb matching the full width of the one below. Available in finishes from luminous travertine to commanding dark marble, the table defies trends while celebrating stone’s inherent beauty. form-losangeles.com
